Carrickfergus

I wish I was in Carrickfergus Where the castle looks out to sea I would swim over the deepest ocean For my love to be with me But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over Nor have I the wings for to fly I wish I had a handsome boatman To ferry me over, my love and I I wish I was in the land of Erin Where the mountains meet the sea Where flowers blossom as I do remember Where my true love came to me But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over Nor have I the wings for to fly Ah to be back now in Carrickfergus To be together, my love and I To be together, my love and I I wish I was in Carrickfergus I wish I was in Carrickfergus I wish I was back home again --- Carrickfergus - Ronan Hardiman and Anne Cuckley
